paragraph 1:

Architecture and urban planning are careers that have many differences but also similarities. Architecture is a career a lot older than urban design .Architecture, was born basically with humanity because a need of protection, on the other hand urban design is considered as a new profession , it began to be used when the cities needed organization. Both create spaces, but, each one takes different ways. Architecture at a small scale and urban planning at a big scale, urban design develops the order and quest of organizing cities. Architecture is shown through structures. It can represent the architect's idea. Years ago, urban designers and Architects used to have troubles working together. But With time, they have learned to work together for getting the best results in a very organized and original way. In the case of Caracas there exist zones where neither have been in practice in conjunction or individually. The citizens build their houses anywhere in the city without taking a into account the problems that can arise in the future caused by the environment orthe law. It Is very important to put into practice the good organization of the city and good design of buildings to prevent that things like this keep happening these.
